...hu gæstlic bið,

þonne ealre þisse worulde wela

weste stondeð,

swa nu missenlice

geond þisne middangeard

winde biwaune

weallas stondaþ,

hrime bihrorene,

hryðge þa ederas.

...how ghostly it will be

when all the wealth of this world

stands waste,

as now variously

throughout this middle-earth

walls stand

beaten by the wind,

covered with rime,

snow-covered the dwellings

From The Wanderer (10th Century Anglo-Saxon)
